Gem like properties in our glass jewelry

Freshly cut laser cut brass backs for our Heart Studs

At Broken Plates, we use laser cut brass backs to create the gem like properties in our transparent blown glass studs.

When we use transparent glass to produce our line of stud earrings, we back earring in a small, similarly shaped piece of metal. We have these backs laser cut from brass sheets. These allows to light to bounce around and inside of the earring in a way that is reminiscent of actual gemstones.

Below you’ll see a selection of some of our favorite colors and shapes with the brass backs!
